CNN reportedly asks for access to Inauguration event, gets curt note on why they won’t get it instead
« on: January 19, 2017, 03:58:35 pm »
CNN got an epic smackdown when it requested press passes to cover the highly anticipated DeploraBall, a pro-Trump inauguration party being held tonight at the National Press Club.

MAGA 3X, the group that organized the DeploraBall, posted a blistering response to CNN, saying its press application was rejected because of the network’s history of biased news coverage.

The group said it had issued press passes to other liberal media outlets like the New Yorker and New York Magazine, but thought CNN didn’t deserve to cover the event.

Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

http://www.splicetoday.com/politics-and-media/deploraball-s-purge-of-alt-right-aimed-at-mainstreaming-american-nationalist-movement

<..snip..>


Perhaps the DeploraBall will mark the return of the alt-right to marginalized status after a brief period of elation following Trump’s election and his appointment of Steve Bannon as a key strategy advisor. After the video of the NPI Nazi salutes surfaced, Trump disavowed the alt-right. Their favorite word is “cuck,” but they’re now calling natural ally Mike Cernovich (180,000 Twitter followers), who also loves calling people that, a “cuck” himself. Something’s amiss. It’s easy to garner a little notoriety as a bunch of anonymous wiseasses online, but yet another matter to make a move in the direction of the mainstream once your man gets elected President. Even Bannon has slapped their wrists, stating that there’s no place for anti-Semitism or racism within the alt-right. Just because you were useful in getting a candidate elected doesn’t guarantee you won’t be discarded after the victory if risks outweigh benefits.

Milo Yiannopoulos was brought in to DeploraBall soon after Baked Alaska got dumped. He, like Cernovich, has denied being a member of the alt-right. The Breitbart provocateur is too savvy and career-oriented to go much beyond the flirtation stage with them. DeploraBall may in time come to be seen as the American nationalists’ Night of the Long Knives, which marked Hitler’s purging of the Nazi Party’s undesirables. Richard Spencer and those of his ilk can’t accurately be called conservatives, as they don’t even believe in the U.S. Constitution. Their allegiances lie elsewhere. Now they’re bitter and talking of “revolt,” but there’s not much they can do at this point. Trump is still the best president they can hope for. Cernovich, Yiannopoulos, and Infowar’s Paul Joseph Watson are poised to become some of the more visible faces of the American nationalist movement. They have a better understanding of where the boundaries are. The liberal media thinks the term “alt-right” is too sanitized and is looking for a replacement. On the right, the pragmatic Trumpists are more concerned with keeping them at arm’s length. Their dream is only possible through an ethnic cleansing

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  It's not the administration, it's the group putting on the ball.

But honestly do you think it wasn't done in co-ordination with the incoming administration or their representatives?

It has the look and feel of a trial balloon, to see what they can get away with.  I am sure there's Bannon's fingers in there somewhere, making a shot across the bow.  I think denying press credentials for a Ball is not as severe as denying credentials for something that's really news.

At the end of the day, they'll all make up.  I'm positive Bannon knows as well as you and I do that they're playing a dangerous game.  This is a matter of setting the terms of the relationship.

I hope you're right and they won't cross the line they are tip toeing on.

The more they hear accolades from the rah-rah brigade the more they will be tempted to cross the line and start denying media that they seem "unsuitable" press credentials for more important events.

Yeah, I hope I'm correct too.  I was paying attention to yesterday's discussion on the matter, but I also know this is like a game to Trump.  He's been surprising me with the stuff he's gotten away with so far.  By normal measures, his candidacy should have been a great big crater in the ground, yet here he is.  Just over 24 hours away from taking office.

Added:  Yes, they're tip-toing to the line, but they are also trying to move the line to where they want it.  Hadn't seen that done before, so that's why I'm popping corn.

CNN ought to do some investigative journalism.

Pose as wait staff and record everything with button cameras/microphones.

Report as they will.

If the ball committee complains afterwards... well, that's after the fact.

Good idea.  Let them see how the other half lives.  What you described has been the only way sides of the story not approved by CNN ever get out.

Yes, and calling it an "inauguration event" makes it seem like it is an official, Trump-sponsored ball.
